Of manga mania, Wikipedia and Hitler associations



MercatorNet, launched only in May of last year, has come up with a remarkable range of reading fare (and I'm not even referring to the section containing features from other sites yet).

The editors released a list of a dozen of readers' favorites from 2005, and to show you the variety of articles to pick from, here are titles of some of those that made it to the list --

The Myth of Hitler’s Pope
A fresh look at the evidence has convinced a Jewish rabbi that the controversial Pius XII should be honoured as a “righteous Gentile”
